The purpose of the trip was to share the story of Jesus Christ with the people of Malawi. We went to 15 different villages to show them a film about the life of Jesus, and shared our own stories of faith with the people we met. We sang and danced, participated in lots of 4 hour church services, ate goat and rice twice a day, slept under mosquito nets each night, played with millions of kids and experienced life in a completely different culture. I went with a group of 8 other students from my school, Biola, and it was incredible to see God use a group of ordinary college students to impact people in the middle of a village halfway around the world.
the black and white photo at the top and this one below are 2 of the 15 times we showed the film. sometimes we would have 30 people show up, and sometimes there would be more than 500-----
one of my favorite things about Malawians was their reactions to seeing their photograph on the back of my digital camera. they had never really experienced getting their photo taken or seeing digital photos come up on the camera screen. Here is a woman posing for me, and the next photo is her reaction to seeing it-------------------
!!this little girl has been on my mind ever since we arrived home from our trip. she was so curious and sweetly sweet
as we ate breakfast one morning, i looked outside through a hole in the wall of our hut and saw these little kids
one man was so sweet and let us sleep in his housemy polaroid camera came to Africa with me///////////
i let each person keep their polaroid because they hardly had any photos of their families. they treated them with such delicacy. this woman wrapped hers in a piece of cloth and put it in her bag to take back home.
inside of a restaurant where we ate lunch one day,a family inside their home-a pregnant woman cooking-
and one of her friends,babies tended to be really scared of the camera since they'd never seen one before, or perhaps they were scared of ME and my whiteness which they'd also never seen before,
i love this one because he's being lit by our bus' headlights.
whew.
it feels good to get some of these UP! I'll continue to post little stories, show photos of my team, and let you in on fun little times like the day our translator bought a skewer of ten grilled mice from a Mouse Vendor and stored them on the dashboard of our van for two days straight--eating them as snacks--just like we'd eat a twix bar.
and then there was the time that our generator burst into 4 feet of flames and our bus driver, frank, miraculously put it out within minutes and our generator still worked afterward.
things like this.
